Raimey & I have gone back and forth a little off-line on the subject of just WHO turned the tubes that were made of Krupp steel & wound up on Beretta guns: (10) Krupp, (2) Beretta, or (3) a Belgian fabricator.
Anyone have insights to share?
Of course, the barrels in question carry the Krupp name/logo, but that could in fact reference just Krupp's contribution of steel. A quick scan around the web turned up numerous guns stamped LLH by the Belgian firm Laurent Lochet-Habran...but I've not seen that mark on the few pre-war Berettas I've had the opportunity to inspect. Stamping would of course be determinative.
What say you guys?
